Crossword Genius

Canopy in street, fabricated (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tester

'canopy' is the definition.
(I know that tester is a type of canopy)

'street fabricated' is the wordplay.
'fabricated' is an anagram indicator.
'street' is an anagram of 'TESTER'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for tester that I've seen before include "Canopy over mattress or an examiner" , "One examining" , "Old sixpence for a bed canopy" , "Examiner of street" , "Person examining" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
